` Lesers Patent No. 61,830, dated Febnmy 5, 1867.

IMPROVED DOOR-STOPS.

'TO WHOM IT M-AY CONCERN: p

Be it known that we, TnoMAs'HAzARD, and JONATHAN M. RIcHiiRDsoN, both ofWilmington, Clinton county, Ohio, have inventedva, new AandusefulHAnti-Slam'mer; and we dov hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description-thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings making part of this specification.

This invention relates to a device adapted for ready insertion Vin thejamb or surbase of a door or the sill of a window, to soften the shocksand jars incident to theiruse.'

Figure 1 -is a perspective view of a door, 'Whose jamb and sux-base arefurnished -rvith the anti-Slammer.

Figures 2 and 3 are axial'se-c't-ions, showing the two forms ofourvimprovement.

A is a metallic case of cylindrical yform, adapted to receive a pad orcushion B, of gum elastic or India rubber, and to be-inserted in acircular hole or cavity prepared for'itin the jamb orsurbase of a door,or'in the sill of a window. This cavity may be formed by means ofanordinary centre-bit, and should be of such sizeas to hold the casetightly, on thelatter being simply driven into it. Foradditional'seeurity, the oase may be dipped in glue or Sheller:just'before insertion. ,A rim or iiange C, around the external margin ofthe case, servesito strengthen the same so as to. enable 'it to receivethe blow's of a. mallet in the actoi` insertion, and also alibi-ds abearing foxthe point of a pry o r other instrumentwhen its extractionmay be desired. The rubber may be secured` in its case either by theprov-ision'of a heador swell, D, at its inner end, which engages behindthe corresponding end of the case, or by' means of a shoulder, E, whichbears against anoiset, F, that projectsV internally from the case.-

We are aware that Indiafru'bber cushions have before been applied todoor-stops in -a variety of ways, and therefore do not claimthe'insertion of hollow or solid India rubber, or similar material, inholes bored' in the door or jamb; but, by our invention, the rubber isprotected bythe metallic case, is easy.' of application for `the purposedesigned, and can be more readily'removed when necessary; our invention,asherein described, being an improvement upon A. Eleiaers patent forElastic Studs and Buttons for Doors and Windows, Janualy 24, 1865.

W'e claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The eombination'rofvthe case A'C, and shouldered elongated cushion Bwhen constructed `andadapted for use in t-he manner and for the purposes herein'shown .anddescribed.-

In testimony of which invention we hereunto vsetfour hands. Y

JONATHAN M. RICHARDSON.
